Infrastructure-less environments present unique challenges in emergency environments, where resources are scarce, and information needs to be shared in an efficient manner. With the use of Internet of Things technology in emergency response situations, the amount of information generated can be overwhelming for both the first responders (FRs) and the infrastructure-less network that might connect them. Therefore, architectures need to be implemented that can prioritize and regulate this information before displaying it to the FRs or sending it over in an efficient manner. This article introduces such an architecture and the core tools that comprise it. This work is part of the RESCUER project, an EU-funded project aiming at developing an FR-centered technology toolkit that will empower the next generation of FRs by enhancing their operational capacity and safety, specifically in adverse conditions, both environmental and infrastructure-wise.

The use of generative AI has become increasingly prevalent in the business world. With the ability to create original content and automate certain tasks, businesses have been quick to adopt this technology. However, as with any emerging technology, there are potential pitfalls to be aware of. This article aims to review the current state of generative AI in business and highlight some of the potential risks associated with its use. Specifically, we examine issues such as pausing giant AI experiments, misinformation, data accuracy, process automation, shift of power, control of civilization, organizational security, and the potential for AI-generated content to deceive individuals. By bringing these concerns to the forefront, we hope to encourage a more thoughtful and cautious approach to the use of generative AI in business.

This “From the Editors” article examines how technology enhances the sense and powers of rescuers and first responders (FRs) (the real-life heroes we all count on when disaster strikes). Ideas on how this can be made possible have been taken out of actual implementations, and prototypes (with references that include links to demo videos) are included. While the article focuses on human FRs, it also discusses the role of technology for animals in disaster response.

This study investigated the structure of memecoin communication on Twitter. We built a following–follower and mention–reply network by crawling more than 100 official memecoin Twitter accounts. We evaluated social networks using two approaches: by comparing the following–follower and actual communication networks in terms of mentions and conducting statistical tests to detect a relationship between the structural position of each memecoin in its network and market performance measures. The findings indicate that Dogecoin and ShibaInu served as information dissemination hubs. Despite their popularity for information dissemination on Twitter, memecoins’ mediating functions via mentions were underdeveloped. This finding points to the risk of the spread of false information on Twitter and a gap in user-side information verification capabilities. This study also adds to the body of evidence showing that memecoins can use Twitter to disseminate information designed to increase their profitability.
